Consider Your Greenhouses 



Carefully 



Are they in good 

 shape for next win- 

 ter? It doesn't do 

 to leave the ques- 

 tion of greenhouse 

 overhauling u n t il 

 too late. Frosty 

 nights come upon 

 us all too suddenly, 

 and heating and 

 ventilating systems 

 should be in shape 

 in ample time. 



A little overhaul- 

 ing, some improved 

 ventilators, or re- 

 a r r a n g ement of 

 heating plant may 

 make a great deal 

 of difference in op- 

 erating expenses; 

 may spell the dif- 

 ference between 

 profit and loss on 

 next year's busi- 

 ness. 



It is worth while to have one of our experts look over your range and advise you, any- 

 way, and it doesn't cost you anything.

Marketing the Apple Crop 



((Continued from page 210) 



you learn that all the co-operative apples are- 

 pooled, and that every grower receives exactly 

 the same for apples of the name variety and. 

 grade, you will understand the necessity of this 

 uniformity of pack and the necessity of inspec- 

 tion. The in.spectors mall to the head office of 

 the central a daily report of their work; and. 

 should they find any company packing below 

 the standard set by the central, tne company in 

 question has to repack the fruit. 



The managers of all local companies report to 

 the central association each day as to the oon- 

 dltlon of the fruit and quantity packed, and re- 

 ceive instructions from the central olllce ajs to 

 when, how, where and what quantity to .ship. 



Owing to the fact that such a large percent- 

 age of the entire crop of Nova ScoUa is handled 

 by the central association it Is able, to a cer- 

 tain extent, to regulate the quantity of fruit 

 going to the various markets to prevent any one 

 market being overcrowded and others left bare. 

 Information is collected through its various 

 connections concerning the space booked on 

 steamers from the various apple-shipping ports, 

 and in this way calculations determine Just about 

 what quantity of apples will be arriving on the 

 various European markets at certain dates. 

 The London office cables daily conditions on all 

 markets, and the central association places its 

 fruit Just where it is most needed — that Is 

 where the least fruit is offering. When neces- 

 sary special boats are brought In to carry the 

 co-operative apples, for it is not always that 

 the regular boats fit in right. 



Returns to Locals. 

 Whenever shipments of apples are made from 

 a local company the manager sends In a return 

 on a tabulated sheet In triplicate, two copies 

 being mailed to the head office and one being 

 retained. Should the apples covered by this re- 

 turn be consigned to one of the central's own 

 offices one of these sUips is forwarded; but, in 

 any case, entries are made at the central office 

 into what is known as an "average price book," 

 and in another tabulated book the company 

 shipping Is credited with so many barrels of 

 each grade in certain varieties. At the end of 

 the month each company receives a statement 

 showing the number of barrels received during 

 the month, and accompanyinR the statement Is 

 a cheque, being an advance of so much per bar- 

 rel for every barrel shipped during the month. 



As soon as all returns are in for any variety 

 the average price obtained for each grade of 

 that variety is ascertained, and. after deduct- 

 ing a sum sufficient to cover central's expenses, 

 all companies receive the balance due to them 

 on that variety. For instance, say the amount 

 advanced when the apples were shipped was 

 $1.50 per barrel, and subsequently the average- 

 price works out at $2.50 for No. 1, $2.15 for No. 

 2, $1.26 for No. 3, whatever is due the subsidiary- 

 companies over and above the $1.60 is Immedi- 

 ately paid. 



It win be seen by this system that each mem- 

 ber's apples lose their identity as soon as they 

 enter the packing-room, but each member re- 

 ceives pay according to the quality of his fruit, 

 because the better the fruit the more No. I's 

 are procured; and, as all members are paid ac- 

 cording to the grade into which their fruit 

 packs. Justice Is done to all. 



In the same way with the central association. 

 As soon as the apples of any company enter the 

 average price book at the head office its iden- 

 tity is, to a certain extent, immaterial; and 

 should a carload of apples from one company be 

 placed on a market making 50c per barrel more 

 than a car of apples equally good from another 

 company, all receive the same return — namely, 

 the average for the season. The Justice of this 

 system will be readily understood, but to em- 

 phasize it I -will cite a circumstance that fre- 

 quently arises: 



The central a&Sociation receives a cable from, 

 say, the Buenos Ayres office for 1.000 barrels of 

 apples which have .been sold at a fancy price, 

 possibly a dollar above anything that can be 

 obtained on any other market. Only five car- 

 loads are required to fill that order, so at the 

 most only five companies can supply these ap- 

 ples. Yet on the .same day possibly 10.000 bar- 

 rels are shipped from various companies. Which 

 companies are to have the plum? 



The central association does not have to de- 

 cide .any such i.«;.sue. It takes any five cars and 

 fills that order, and the companies -whose apples 

 are used receive the .=^ame average price for that 

 variety as all other companies. 



Has Proved a Great Benefit. 

 This system of co-operative marketing has 

 made many reforms possible, and has placed 

 thousands of dollars in the pockets of the grow- 

 ers that, under the old regime, went into the 

 pockets of numerous and unnecessary middle- 

 men. Six years ago the valley, during the win- 

 ter months, was crowded with representatives 

 of the various commission houses in England, 

 high-salaried men, who lived on the best that 

 Nova Scotia could give. A\'hile these men were
